UGREEN 50966 Bidirectional 2-Port HDMI Switch, 4K60

Overview

The UGREEN 50966 is a small manual HDMI switch that works in either direction. Use it as two sources to one TV or monitor, or as one source to either of two screens, choosing the path with a single button. It needs no power supply and handles up to 4K at 60 Hz, so it suits a TV that is one HDMI input short or a laptop that moves between a monitor and a projector.

Is it right for you?

• Suits two HDMI devices sharing one screen, or one device switched between two screens.
• It never drives both screens at once. For the same picture on two displays, a splitter is needed.
• No remote and no automatic switching; you press the button.
• It does not switch USB, a keyboard or a mouse and has no capture function.

Key features

• Up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, with 1080p at 120 Hz also listed.
• Passes DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby AC-3 and DSD audio without decoding it.
• Three identical HDMI sockets, used as two-in, one-out or one-in, two-out.
• Single selection button with LED indicators.
• No external power required.
• Light and compact, 55 g.

What else you need

HDMI cables for every connected device; none are included. Use short cables for 4K at 60 Hz.

Installation

No installation is needed. Connect the devices and press the button to choose the path. Indoor use only; keep it dry, ventilated and away from direct heat.

Before you buy

• Switching takes 3 to 7 seconds.
• It has no memory after the path is reset; port 1 is the default.
• Mixed displays can force a lower common mode or a blank screen, and protected content needs HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) support end to end, which the switch cannot bypass.
• It does not increase resolution or refresh rate.
• HDMI cables, a remote and a power adapter are not included.
